[Intro]
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]
"Any day now", is what I kept tellin’ myself
On the last mile, on the road to somewhere
But along the way I (Got stopped by)
All the wind and the rain and
To my surprise, oh (They knew my name)

[Pre-Chorus]
(And it shook my heart) Blew my mind
(I had to cry) So many nights
I had to hold on for my life but
But all I can say now is that I survived

[Chorus]
I survived, I survived, I survived (Mm)
I survived, I survived, I survived
Oh, you know I had a lot on me
Truth be told, it almost broke me
But I'm so glad
I survived, I survived, I survived now

[Verse 2]
Now hurt and pain were sometimes my company
Separated from those, then I suppose
I didn't have no guarantees
But one thing, that I knew for sure was
That I've had my share of ups and downs
I made it even though
[Pre-Chorus]
(And it shook my heart) Blew my mind
(I had to cry) So many nights
I’ve had to hold on for my life but
But all I can say now is that I survived

[Chorus]
I survived, I survived (Ooh), I survived (I survived)
I survived (Oh, yeah, yeah), I survived, I survived (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Oh, Lord, I had a lot on me
Truth be told, it almost broke me
But I'm so glad (I’m so glad)
I survived, I survived (Oh yeah), I survived now (Woah, waoh)

[Bridge]
I know you heard this message before (Before)
I wanna tell you once more (It’s alright)
Alright, you survived (You will)
I know the road you're on might seem long
But I encourage you to hold on, hold on (You survived)
You will survive
I do believe you will
But all I can say now is that I survived (Hey)

[Chorus]
I survived (I survived, yeah), I survived, I survived (Oh, I made it through, yeah)
I survived (I survived), I survived, I survived
Oh, you know I had a lot on me
Truth be told (Ooh), it almost broke me (Almost broke me all)
But I'm so glad (But I'm so glad)
I survived, I survived (I survived), I survived now (I survived, yeah)
[Bridge]
When the weight of the world's all on your shoulder
Just remember, remember, remember
To keep your head up and survive

[Chorus]
Oh, you know I had a lot on me (On me)
Truth be told, it almost broke me
But I'm so glad (Oh, but I)
I survived (Survived), I survived, I survived now (I)

[Chorus]
I survived (And can I just testify), I survived, I survived (Ooh, Lord I)
I survived (I), I survived, I survived (I survived)
Oh, you know I had a lot on me (It was a lot on me)
Truth be told, it almost broke me (It almost broke me but I)
But I'm so glad (But I)
I survived (But I), I survived (I survived), I survived now
